  • Understanding Light Reflection: Incident and Reflected Rays
    A ray that bounces off a mirror is called a reflected ray.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Incident Ray: The ray of light that hits the mirror.

    * Reflected Ray: The ray of light that bounces off the mirror.

    * Normal: An imaginary line perpendicular to the mirror's surface at the point where the incident ray strikes.

    * Angle of Incidence: The angle between the incident ray and the normal.

    * Angle of Reflection: The angle between the reflected ray and the normal.

    The Law of Reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
